What  criteria do you use to determine if you need to clean your heat
exchanger?  Rise in cooling temp, engine hours or a recommendation in the
owner's  manual?





You normally notice a temp creep. ie it will start running a little hotter  
than normal. And you will notice that it gets a little hotter every so many  
hours of running time. At least that is what my engines do.  it will be  
especially noticeable at WOT.
